Your plant looks like it's in the early stages of flower.. you might want to change the nutes you're feeding her

Nutes are A and B, veg and flower.. your plant is starting to flower therefor -

Nutrients: Stop with Nitrogen nutrients at this time. The plants need more Phosphorous and other nutrients during this stage. PH level affects all the stages of marijuana growth - on a scale of 1-14 - seven (7) is neutral. The ideal PH range for cannabis is 6.5 - extremes above or below this level will slow growth and be a give-away that something is not right. You want Phosphorous, Potassium, Magnesium and some Sulfur (there are other micro-nutrients usually found in good blooming feeds).
Once a plant 'shows' slow growth or visible symptoms of any kind, it has already experienced nutritional stress. Allow some time (once diagnosed & corrected) for the plant to recuperate to a vigorous growth stage. This is an entire science and I do not have enough space here to cover it all - but I want you to know the important stuff.

well i feed it every 2 days approx when i see that the soil is dry at the top because of the hot weather here...... with regards to ph and drainage i do not know how to check that :( any suggestions? it is on a 12/12 i just put it in a dark room at 8pm and get it back out at 8am in the morning ... i do know that the leafs get droopy when it sleeps however when i took the photo it was still 6pm so i dont think it was going to slep ...or was it?

when you say early stages what do you mean by that? as the buds have been forming for about 4-5 weeks already..... the nuts i use is a tomatoe solution.....what should i use instead please?

my guess would be a lack of intense direct light. i have tried flowering with florescents before and my plants looked a lot like that.

Use something that had a 10-30-20 mix or something similar. Although I'm convinced after seeing and reading Uncle Ben's posts and a few others about giving the plant nitrogen all the way through. I just add a bit of fish-seaweed blend in between regular feedings with my blossom booster.

yer getting yer self all worked up... to fix the ph you need to get a testing kit (grow shop)learn the weight of your pot when full and when empty to judge when to water, plants all drink different amounts at different times so learn your plants routine (you move it every day so learning should be easy). when this is sorted you need to chillaxe and let nature do its thing .. good looking plant btw....oh and get blooming feed

I love this post...Just goes to show you that IT IS A WEED !!!!!!!!

Scrogs right, but not sure I'd repot it in flower, but thats just me.

Definitely could use a little nute action and some good, direct sunlight.

All in all it's a good looking plant, most newbies would be THRILLED to have your plant !!!!!!!

Carry on soldier !!!!!!

Doesn't have to be all day, even 3-4 hours would be helpful.

Can't help you with the strain, maybe someone who has access to all the breeder seeds out there can pinpoint it for you. Hard to tell what a bagseed is, that's why they breed good seeds.

I'd say throw an oscilating fan on it to help it looks like some heat stress to me, and maybe some nute burn, when u water do u see run off from the bottom of the pot?
